Hi! Sue Althouse here today, with another idea for creating a scrapbook layout based on what surrounds you in life, specifically in your home. This one will need to develop over time, but I think it is worth the effort. First, identify one place in your home that functions as a central hub of family activity. Then keep your phone or camera nearby. Take photos of the different people who gather in that place and the different activities that occur in that location. Scrap the results!
For us, the table in our kitchen was the logical choice. I included friends and family, even furry ones. This is a place where we eat, play cards, knit, wrap presents, even try on make-up. And play Scrabble on cold winter days while watching college basketball. Yes, we used to play Scrabble with a real board and pieces. Now we do it on our phones. Not sure that is change for the better, but I digress...
I do not remember how long it took me to get this collection of photos to scrap. Maybe a year? Maybe a couple of seasons? It was definitely an idea that took time to evolve, but I love the end result. It's a little snapshop of our life in one small spot. It says much about who we are. Now we are in a new home, collecting new friends 'round the table. Maybe it's time to recycle this idea for another scrapbook page!
